Abstract
Little or no technological advancement, geometric increase in population, and
manual counting process has made a democratic system practiced by developing
countries of the world inefficient, slow and unattractive. To move away from this
system, technology must be adopted to automate democratic process of voting. This
paper describes the design and implementation of a digital electronic ballot counter
box as an introduction to the automation of the electoral processes which will curtail
electoral vices and ease the task of counting, and increase efficiency and speed. The
system consists of six basic units: (i) the light source and photo sensing unit,(ii) the
voltage comparator unit, (iii) the pulse generator unit, (iv) the counter, (v) the output
display, and (vi) the power unit. The system is designed to accommodate as much as
9999 counting.
Keywords: Output display, democratic process, design, counting, implementation
